Home Minster Sushil Kumar Shinde is visiting Wednesday's blast-hit areas of Pune today. He will review the security situation in the city. The Police have made sketches of two of the suspects. However, according to Additional Police Commissioner Shahaji Solunke, they will not release these to the public for now.
Meanwhile, the Union Home Ministry has sought a detailed report from the Delhi Police on the CCTV network in the Capital in a bid to review security situation following Pune blasts.
Home ministry sources say, the entire network needs to be rechecked. The ministry has also instructed senior police officers to check the CCTV cameras in their areas daily and send a weekly report to the police headquarters.
Sources in the Delhi Police said, the cameras installed as part of the 2008 scheme were functioning well, but the entire city is yet to be secured even after four years.
The deadlines for the installation of hi-tech cameras at 27 border posts and 59 markets have been missed on numerous occasions. So far, the work has been finished at two border posts and 22 markets.
But now, after the blasts in Pune, where CCTV cameras were not functioning, the home ministry has asked the Delhi Police for a detailed report on the CCTV network.
Glaring loopholes were found in the security apparatus, as the CCTV cameras in Karol Bagh market were not working.
Even after two blasts outside the high court last year, it was found cameras were not installed. But police sources have indicated things are moving faster now. Markets like Khan Market, CP, Lajpat Nagar and GK are CCTV secure.
